Love living in Berkeley, California. I love cooking and sharing good food with good company--with wine, too!

I work in service of nonprofit organizations and small businesses and I am very passionate about my work. I am somewhat involved in progressive local politics (although less lately due my growing law practice taking up most of my time). I am a policy wonk.

I am hoping to travel in Europe in the near future for the first time in many years to reconnect with some friends and family and visit some new places. I do a lot of work in the area of affordable housing and I'm interested in visiting Vienna for the first time to learn about social housing policy there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet locals, meet interesting people from around the world, share meals, travel in Europe affordably, hang out with travelers.

Update: my guest room in Berkeley is no longer available for the near term future.
